Sorry, the grainy text is the resolution they sent.

City of Mesa held a meeting to update businesses about Downtown projects.
Here's a summary of a few:

#1  ECO Mesa East.  

• Green Parking lot NE of HeatSync.
• Plans were circulated last summer, but things got held up due to increasing constructions costs.
• Some issues about parking and "getting the city involved" ($$$ ???)
• Roughly the same size as the original ECO that is NW of HeatSync.
• 7-stores, 110 units

#2  Residences on Main

• NW corner of Main & Country Club (W of Taco Bell)
• 5 stories, 200 units
• Still under construction  (didn't mention an opening date, but soon)

#6   Edge on Main

• SE corner of Main & Country Club (S of Taco Bell)
• This is the site that just got bulldozed.
• Appears that Dairy Queen is NOT affected.
• 8 stories, 400 units.  
• Just getting started.

#10  Restaurant Incubator

• Next to The Nile (Across the street from HeatSync)
• This will contain about 8 small start-up restaurants.
• With indoor food court and outdoor seating.
• Incubator is where restaurants can get started before moving on.
• Idea is for each to be there about 2 years. 
• They will stagger them, so move in and out every few years.
• This is just getting under development, so a ways out.
• Some of the ORANGE Parking Lot construction (behind the Nile) is installation of larger transformers for the block
• ORANGE Lot should reopen soon, with loss of 1 or 2 parking spaces for transformers.

#14 (BLUE TRIANGLE)  Everybody's All Day Cafe

• 104 W Main (just outside HeatSync's Front Door!)
• Development proceeding slowly. Few details.
• Idea is 1950's Theme Diner open long hours.
• Liquor License
